Dawn of the Samurai

"Yeah, right. Like I want any sympathy, I'd kill a bigger bounty." Kyo walked from Maiko.

 

Koza sighed and looked down.

"You realise thaere's a bounty on your head too now, Kyo."

 

"Koza nii-kun, Maiko onee-chan isn't happy about the truth, isn't she?" Neka sighed. "That's why Onee-chan left!" She started to cry.

 

"I don't imagine she is. I wouldn't be either if I was in her position. Don't worry about Kyo. She just needs a little time to think."

 

Yuki walked toward Neka. "There's a large bounty on your heads for what happened to Uzuki. She's a bounty hunter."

 

"Not anymore. There's one on your sister's head as well. After all, she had a part in killing Uzuki."

 

"Ironic, she was a bounty hunter, now she has a bounty on her head."

 

"Yes, we're all in the same boat now. All because of me...."

 

Yuki sighed. "I can't remember what happened when I was controlled by a demon. I know, Kyo and I were the only ones who survived."

 

"The memories will come to you in time."

 

Kyo sat on a roof of a shop, feeling the wind. 'Great...... Bounty hunter with a bounty..... Just great.'

 

Koza sat deep in thought, wondering what to do now.

 

Neka yawned and turned into a cat, she slept next to Koza, purring.

 

Koza ignored her and continued to think.

"There's supposed to be a performance troupe passing through here in the next day or so. If I remember right, mother helped the leader of this troupe and said that he would repay the favor one day. I think it's time to cash this favor in.

 

Kyo jumped from the roof and walked out of town.

 

Koza walked outside and began to meditate.

 

Kyo relaxed in the forest, but she felt in the forest. "Who's there?!" she shouted, taking out her sword.

 

Koza continued to meditate for a while, then went back inside.

 

"Koza, there was someone who was close to Uzuki, but I can't remember who he is," Yuki told him as he entered. "I'm worried about Kyo."

Kyo came in, sighed.

 

"Probably a member of the Hogyoku. They're the ones who had the bounties placed on our heads as a cover up for us taking out Uzuki. We know about them, and now they want us dead."
